Can these meds be making me infertile?34 year old male, 6 ft., pretty healthy, just a little overweight, no diseases whatsoever. Will be going to a Urologist soon, but first wanted to educate myself a bit more.
Good morning, I just want to get your thoughts regarding a few questions: 1. Do the medications I take lead to low ejaculate volume and low ejaculation strength? These are the meds I take on a DAILY basis as of today (October 2009): - Zoloft (Almost 4 years) for OCD - Adderall (Almost 3 1/2 years) for ADD. - Singular, Zyrtec, and Advair (About 4 years) for allergies and asthma * Background and symptoms: My wife and I are trying to have another baby (Who was conceived around June 2005). We have been trying (not regularly - about once or twice a month) to conceive since around May 2008 with no success. I have noticed that when we have sex for non-conceiving, when the ejaculation comes, I notice that I'm not "shooting" (for lack of a better word!) like I used to, it just drips out, and I also notice that not that much is coming out. I remember I used to be able to squirt pretty far and strong at least 2 or 3 times (excuse the gory details!), but since around January of 2008 it just leaks out, and not that much volume at that. * Factors to consider: - When we conceived our first kid, I wasn't on any meds. - These symptoms started appearing well over 2 years after I started taking these meds. - I've been under A LOT of stress with work, mortgage, and many other rising costs. - I've always been careful of not putting my laptop over my lap and I only wear boxer shorts! - I've never had any operations in that area, no injuries, and have never had any STD's and other types of diseases and illnesses (like diabetes, cancer, etc.). - There's no pain before, during, or after ejaculation. - No problems with erections, libido, achieving orgasm (Orgasm is still as intense as before). - I have noticed that I have gained some flab in my thighs area near my testicles (But it's the same as before I conceived my first kid - I was chubby before my first kid was born, lost a lot of weight after, then put back some of it). 2. And lastly, the meds that I mentioned above, can they cause any types of birth defects? Thanks!
